Some of their concerns could be eased with the addition of a drive-through pharmacy, speed bumps, and a driveway that connects to the shopping center and the nearby Hergenhan Recreation Center, as some were worried about the potential traffic-flow implications CVS’s addition would cause.

Al DelBello, the lawyer representing CVS, hopes these changes symbolize a compromise between CVS and the town.

“We’ve been in front of the Planning Board and Town Board for quite some time now and I think we’ve done everything that has been asked of us,” DelBello said. “The drive-through and the Hergenhan entrance were not originally in the plan, they were added by request of the town.”

CVS was issued a special-use permit by the North Castle Town Board in July, although a timetable for their move into the vacant A&P building has not been set.
